Must have been Gods Will.

Seriously either we have "inalienable" rights that are constitutionally guaranteed or we do not. If they can be set aside at will by the state which commits "a long train of abuses and usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

I'm all for letting them congregate, natural selection and all that.

It's their choice and the consequences are theirs to bear. It's not like they haven't been warned.

That is true. Much like thousands of people who gather in the streets and celebrate a presidential victory. I would have thought they would know better.

Yes, but unfortunate for others too.
I remember that the daily new infection was close to one perday, when Trump threw one of his parties, and then there magically were 23 new infections, spreading further of course. Dumb.

There's a fairly big difference between being inside and being outside. I'm baffled as to how you don't seem to know this.

Churches Were Eager to Reopen. Now They Are Confronting Coronavirus Cases

At least 42 coronavirus cases linked to multiday church event in Maine

More Than 200 COVID-19 Cases Linked to Fitchburg Church

Death toll rises from COVID-19 outbreak at Charlotte church. Cases linked to 3 counties

That's just the few first ones from the US that Google showed me.

Just like the Trump backers and their MAGA march. You would think they would know better too!

That's right Eddie. They should all know better. Wouldn't you agree?

Well I do know that. You seem to be have the mistaken idea that I am defending these people. Any of them. As for people being inside or outside I fail to see your point. If I'm standing close enough to you to touch you and I am infected and singing and cheering chances are you could be infected by my actions. Yes or no?

Catfish · 11-26-20, 04:17 PM

Ok, then tell me who downplays this infection since early 2020 and still invites his followers not to wear masks, publicly, because it "takes away their freedom" and "throttles the economy", personally throwing parties with his family or while rallying without caring, with a death toll of more than 200,000 and rising.
Ah, Obama. Or Biden. Or Mickey Mouse. Who do you think you are fooling?

Yes, there's a chance. The point is how big that chance is. Your chances of getting infected inside, in a packed place are much higher than being outside in a crowd.

Who am I fooling? Who are you kidding? If you can show me a single instance on this forum where I have defended any of that please point it out.

Probably true. I'm not defending being inside in a crowd. Are you defending being outside in a crowd?
